The prime len is what you would mount the anamorphic lens to via a clamp / Redstan made a very special fitting/ clamp just for these small anamorphic lens ,
Which are very hard to come by and not cheap but very well made / even the DSLR people lust after one for this lens and clamp or the clamp alone .
The Prime lens would be set to infinite , Then focus with the Iscomorphot what you would want to film .
This is a rare and very special lens the size alone make it pocket size and very sought after .
As for the History of this lens not much is to be found .
I'm aware how the lenses work re taking lenses and DSLR's. My question related to the original setups wrt 8mm video.
Thanks
The original set up for a 8mm film camera would be the lens then the len clamp with a mount for the anamorphic lens / not so much different as above .
What Redstan did is find way to make good use of such a well made pocket Anamorphic Lens for todays needs .
Which you can use on a super 8 camera with the right Lens
Let me try and be more specific - if any one knows the specific answer...
The rear of the Iscomorphot has I believe a 24mm thread. It must be this size for a reason. It must have been made this way to go on a particular (type) of 8mm lens. Or are all 8mm film lenses 24mm? Or was there a set of clamps which came with the iscomorphot to allow it to fit on a range of lenses? (I've seen no evidence of this).
I am asking what was the specific original setup the iscomorphot 8/1.5 was designed for? What were the specific taking lenses? I would like to maybe combine them, stick them on a dslr and see what it produces...
Regarding nowadays - you don't actually need any super duper clamp. The isco comes with its own threaded washer, so its relatively easy to clamp it via a filter or similar to a taking lens. I think people have been doing this type of thing with various lenses before the Redstan clamps came on the scene. ;)

I would not clamp the threaded washer from the isco on to a filter as it can fall of quite easily ,
The 8mm set up you are looking for would not work with a dslr / see DSLR forum for why ?
its also took me awhile to find the right lens for super 8 filmmaking . As in past post not much is know of this lens or its history .
What i will say it helps if you have the right clamp .
